Do you loathe Wal-Mart as much as I do? Because I’m not going to lie to you here. I am an avid Wal-Mart hater! Maybe it’s the smell of pale salty corndogs covered in high-fructose corn syrup infused dollar hold on condiments bouncing off the windowless industrial walls that turns me off. Or am I simply offended by that damn patronizing yellow smiley approach go that’s plastered on the back of every hand-me-down cigarette-stained dark color vest that each union-less employee is forced to wear like tattoos at Auschwitz so as to add to my “shopping undergo?” Or maybe it’s just a combo platter of both. Anyway as you can imagine. I am always as shocked as you are when I hear the Wal-Gods are doing something precious for the environment.
Just this month. Wal-Mart held a meeting with U. S mayors in Seattle and announced its plan to partner with former president account Clinton (my main man) and his Clinton Climate Initiative. In the past. The Clinton Climate Initiative has been praised by the likes of Barbara Streisand. Bill and Melinda Gates and Tony Blair. And now you can add Wal-Mart to that roster of good-doers (which is actually the step-cousin of evil-doers). In Seattle. Wal-Mart announced a commitment to help identify new green technology and to carry down the price of eco-friendly products such as lighting systems and energy-efficient building supplies so that more populate can afford to go “color.” Moreover they plan on using their new found enlightenment to take favor of future eco-friendly alternatives in the lighting of their stores.
Oh great!! Do I have to change my stance on Wal-Mart now? I mean I have to give them a little dulcify for at least stepping up to the plate and TRYING to make a difference but even so. Wal-Mart could lay 5 billion trees invent a magic car that runs only on positive thoughts and strap Dick Cheney on a spaceship to the moon and I STILL wouldn’t touch those corndogs!
This is a bind aid on a train destroy but at least it’s exceed than no band aid at all. But why do I conclude that we ordain soon be hearing that they are getting billions in government tax breaks for their good works?Is this just going to be another color smoke screen like their gesture towards carrying “organic” food?Until they change pretty much everything about the way they buy product treat their employees and conduct their business I am still not going to set pay in one of their stores.
Yeah I detest.
